What he meant was that the way that science could be done was changing. When Charles Darwin went onto his journeys to the Galápagos he was in search of new data. Data were rare; indeed all of Charles Darwin’s data that transformed our understanding of human nature fit into a series of notebooks on his study book shelf.
